Why would anyone complain about this, this game will go a long way towards determining the #1 seed in the AFC and the Broncos are clearly the most compelling team in the NFL right now whether you like them or hate them, like the Miami Heat of the NFL.

Also looking at the rest of the SNF schedule, the only guaranteed game to stay is Broncos-Patriots. Obviously there will be a few others just cause FOX and CBS will protect games as well but there’s some real duds there, like Falcons-Packers, Giants-Redskins, and Bengals-Steelers. Hopefully a game like Colts-Bengals can get flexed into SNF.

Also people keep saying the Chiefs haven’t beaten anyways shows just how tunnel vision people are. ..The Broncos have faced the SAME people other than the Browns as they had the Ravens. Broncos and Chiefs have virtually the same schedule so it’s hilarious how one team is getting called lucky and the other treated like its going to the super bowl. That bias!

By week 11 the Giants could be playing for first in the NFC East…
—————-

With Dallas surely losing to New Orleans and possibly losing to Minnesota, when they can’t stop ANYONE, and the rematch in East Rutherford (if the Giants beat the Raiders and Packers) will be for the division lead, and the tiebreaker over Dallas — particularly if they lose to Minnesota — so you aren’t off there.

Not to degrade the Chiefs’ accomplishments, but the only “prime time draw” to this game is Peyton Manning. Any team slightly better than the Jags instantly becomes a “prime time draw” when facing Manning.

It’s just amazing how Payton Manning always chokes. He gets that Forest Gump look in his eyes with that shoulder shrug slump and just stares off into space like “ummm…uhhh..geee I dunno what happended dere”….we do Payton. It’s called ur throat swelled shut and u choked. For someone that is that dominant, that great, that talented to always fall short is pretty remarkable. Doesn’t matter how great ur defense is, if Payton Manning is on u can’t stop him. And for whatever reason the switch always gets flipped off during the Playoffs. Manning should dominate championships like he does MVPs but he doesn’t. And for that I don’t know if she should be crowned the greatest ever.

The diffrence is the Chiefs have been winning their games by 3, and my broncos have been winning theirs by 21. If anyone actually thinks the chiefs have a chance in this game they don’t understand football very well. It’s simple math. The chiefs are going to have to score 30 points to win and that’s just not going happening.

That’s because the Chiefs have “squeaked by” that schedule and the Broncos have just about blown every one out. And for the record, I’m a Raider fan… so I hate both these teams.

This will ensure the second Broncos-Chiefs game won’t be flexed in since the week after the first one, Broncos-Patriots are on Sunday night and they won’t have the Broncos on three straight Sunday nights. CBS has got to be ticked off since it protected the game.

People who are coming up with flex scheduling predictions definitely don’t work for FOX & CBS. I wish somebody at PFT could clarify how this game was flexed when 3 weeks it was reported that CBS had protected both of the Broncos-Chiefs games.

But they also piece-of-cake schedule that the parity police gave them because they sucked so badly last year.

====================

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Of the 16 games an NFL team plays every year, only 2 are determined by the team’s record the prior year. For example, the Chiefs play the Browns (whom they just defeated) and the Bill (whom they play next week) because of their record last year. Otherwise, the Chiefs schedule is the same as the Broncos, Chargers, and Raiders. In other words, the Chiefs are 7-0 against the same set of teams that the Broncos play.

The 2 games against teams that finished in the same position in their division the previous year are not even about favoring the weak teams over the strong teams. It is about making all teams have roughly equal schedules in theory. For example, the Chiefs finished last in the AFC West last year, so they get to play the Browns and the Bills this year. But the Chiefs have to play two games this year against the Broncos, the first place team in the AFC West last year. Similarly, the Broncos have to play the Patriots and the Ravens because all three of those teams finished first in their divisions last year. However, the Broncos also get two games against the Chiefs who finished last in the AFC West last year.

Every NFL team’s schedule has the following games:

4 games against teams that finished first in their division the previous year.
4 games against teams that finished second in their division the previous year.
4 games against teams that finished third in their division the previous year.
4 games against teams that finished fourth in their division the previous year.

So good teams are not penalized the following year by having a tough schedule, and bad teams are not rewarded the following year by having an easy schedule. All teams theoretically play the same quality schedule every year.

I see ONE blowout by Denver there, 3 of 5 we won by bigger margin…….

Well said. These are the simple facts that many fans and media members simply ignore when they claim that the Chiefs haven’t played anyone, and the Broncos have been dominant. LOOK AT THE FACTS PEOPLE. I am a diehard Chiefs fan and have no idea how the game will turn out, but my god stop with the uninformed inaccurate comments about the schedules the teams have played and results to date.

The delusional broncos fans need to look at reality. They may score 40 points a game but their defense gives up 39 (that’s sarcasm) Modt people that belittle the Chiefs don’t realize they average 24 points on offense and give up less than 12 on defense. The good thing is we get to actually play 2 games against each other so the winner or loser can’t complain. As of right now 8-0. #1 AFC and the NFL!

Yes the Chiefs played everyone Denver has and barely won each of those games. Denver played the same teams and won by massive margins. I get a chuckle when people continually compare these two teams. Denver is easily 2 1/2 steps ahead of the Chiefs hands down. Comparing defenses, Denver gave up stupid points to teams who were trying to remotely catch up the points that Denver put up. Offensively, well.. we won’t go there..

If you’re undefeated at this point in the season, you’re a very good team. The Broncos have been the class of the nfl so far this year, though. I don’t believe that the chiefs will beat the Broncos, or advance past the first round of the playoffs until they get better playmakers on the perimeter.

You people don’t have a clue that don’t give the chiefs a chance to win and say the chiefs haven’t played anybody the broncos ave played the same teams the diff. is the broncos defense has given up way more points then the chiefs so go chiefs

Funny how you try to be serious but cant even bring facts to the table.

Chiefs have a scary good defense. Cant wait to see them face off against the Broncos who have what at the end of the season might be the most prolific offense of all time. This game is what PRIME TIME football is all about!

This game was protected by CBS even though it was a late-afternoon game and they don’t have the doubleheader that week. Did the NFL overrule CBS and force them to give up the game?
——————-
In a CBS statement posted by SI.com, CBS acknowledged that very few people would see the game on CBS since it was a western regional broadcast that week (Fox has the doubleheader that day), and moving to NBC would give the matchup more viewers. Had it been a CBS doubleheader day and the game shown to most of the country at 4:25, they would have kept the protection on it.

Broncos beat Cowboys by only 3 but the did score 51 points. Romo handed a winnable game to the Chiefs. You didn’t mention the Chiefs one point win over the Texans playing with an undrafted, practice squad QB. None of this really matters though. We’ll know if the Chiefs are for real soon enough based on games played, not opinions.

I’m not a fan of either the Broncos or the Chiefs, but here is an ACTUAL FACT.

The Chiefs have not played ANYONE ranked in the Top Ten in the NFL as of Week #8–NO ONE.

The Broncos have played ONE team ranked in the Top Ten (Colts).

So in my humble opinion–neither team has really played anyone that is ranked period. They have both played bottom dweller teams (lower ranked teams, out of the top ten ranked NFL teams).

Now, when the Chiefs/Broncos play the Seahawks, Colts, Saints, and/or 49ers and WIN, then let’s chat.

True — he didn’t mention a close win by the Chiefs. But he also didn’t mention a loss by the Broncos. The point was, he compared margins of victory against common opponents.
It seems pretty straight forward to me.

Funny thing about all your Bronco fans, maybe you don’t realize that you’re going to need some fastest Masons in the world and build a block wall on every down, to try to stop the left side from pounding your quarterback. Don’t get me wrong I like Peyton Manning a lot I just hope he survives.

The Chiefs and the Broncos have played almost the exact same schedule to date. The only difference being the Colts and Chargers. The Chargers are on the same level as Dallas, and Philidelphia. KC should beat them at arrowhead, and it should be a close game in San Diego. Indy got hammered by the Rams yesterday, WHAT!!! That should not happen should it? If you think that the Chiefs are not a good team based on their Schedule why don’t you feel the same about the Seahawks and the Broncos?

The Broncos are an average team if Manning is taken out of the formula. Look for the Chiefs to knock him out of the game by half time. Then the Chiefs have a good chance to win. If Manning is protected look for a blow out.
